Hi Michael!
Good catch!
I had too many issues configuring this years ago so I have a bad habit
exporting the keyboard shortcuts as a text file then change this inside an
editor and reimport it.
But thanks so much for bringing this into the light, this was something I never
thought of testing.
Best regards Thomas

Hi Paul and list,
I agree with Thomas concerning accessibility in latest audacity on mac. I
would like to mention another issue: In the preferences
keyboard-shortcuts-category, obviously there is a tree-view in order to
navigate the different commands sorted within menus. In earlier versions, you
could navigate this tree-view with the arrow-keys, where up and down
navigated the different menus while right opened the focused menu, displaying
its entries and corresponding keyboard-shortcuts. In the latest audacity,
arrowing up and down doesn’t give any VO-feedback at all, as well as the
tree-view itself isn’t accessible. In order to assign a shortcut to an
unassigned function, you have to type in the name of the function in the
search-edit-field. Then navigating to the right with VO-cursor-right brings
you to the tree-view-group, where you have to interact and navigate to the
right, until the function is spoken. Voice-over-conform, that should be
sufficient to select the function, but instead, you have to perform a
physical mouse-click. Finally, pressing tab brings you to the edit-field,
where you can enter your preferred shortcut.
I’m working with audacity for several years, so I can manage somehow. But for
beginners, this process is currently very hard. It would be good, if this
process could become easier and more accessible in future.
Thanks a lot Paul for your efforts and best.
Michael
